Private government contracts exist solely to transfer wealth from the taxpayer to private individuals.

There is a revolving door where government officials approve contracts and then go and work for said contractors at a later point, which is basically just corruption.

The tender process is a joke. There will be massive cost overruns and everybody knows it.

You see the same pattern play out with so-called "public private partnerships".

Remember this whenever anyone talks about small government and private sector "efficiency".
